just a reminder...DONT DRINK!

[heftylefty]

Yesterday, my friends decided to take some shots of alcohol and get drunk. well they got very drunk and then walked up to the local QFC to hang out. while there, one of my friends passed out there. the other two boys left him there(god knows why). the ambulence came and took him to the hospital. now he is in intensive care being treated for alcohol poisoning. he is concious now and is hopefully getting better. my thoughts goes out to his family and hope he gets better very soon.

He'll be fine, I've had alcohol poisoning twice before and it sucks. It sounds like it would be a good idea for you guys to stop drinking though if you are'nt responsible enough to stay in your house while you drink.

The thing was these guys were 15 years old.

Not cool... they're all grounded for the summer and I think they deserve it even though one of them is my best friend (One who passed out and is in the hospital)

{oops. editing the first part here b/c i just re-read blazingstorms' post}

I agree- - - they DO deserve to be grounded. Here's why:

It was just stated that they are 15 years old, hmmm .. . that makes them roughly 6 years under the legal drinking age. That means that technically, they were breaking the law (minor in posession) that combined with Public intoxication, and the one guy dang near killing himself- - - Yes, i feel that they should be punished.

I have been there before- - I had one bout with alcohol poisoning. That was a totally miserable experience. Drinking that much is NOT fun whatsoever. By the way, this is coming from a 23 year old fraternity guy that DEFINITLY knows how to party/ drink/ have a good time. Heck, last night my girlfriend and i went out and partied/ drank downtown until about 5:30 this morning. After you figure out how to do it- - - you find out that shartley is right- - Drink just enought to get yourself a good buzz, and then just maintian that level. That's how us old pros manage to party and drink all night long, and don't wind up in the hospital/ dead. Additionally, we either take a taxi or use a D.D. Getting killed b/c you hit a tree (or even worse, killing someone else b/c you hit them), or getting a D.U.I/ D.W.I does more than just ruin your evening.

As far as im concerned, the moral of this thread is in fact, DONT DRINK unless you are of legal age, and after that point, LEARN TO DRINK RESPONSIBLY (i.e. learn how to party RIGHT!!)

That is definately not a good thing. And I will leave it at that....

[ZAust]

...or just dont drink at all. many people, including myself, feel that they dont need outside substances to have a good time.

[Smokee_2_7]

Zaust, I agree with you also. .

I do not think people need outside substances to have a good time. The most enjoyable/ fun experiences of my life have been when I had no alcohol in my body whatsoever.

However, i do not feel that there is anything wrong with using a legal substance in Moderation, provided that you do so in a fashion that does not endanger yourself or others. That's the catch to my standpoint 1. Legal (meaning that you are of legal age) and 2. moderation. There's no point in going out and getting beligerently drunk. Period.

shartly, what exactly were you reffering to as being 'not good'? im not following you. . .

The one who was in the hospital is now at home and sleeping.

I totally lost respect for the other two who ditched him. Even when you're drunk you know who's your friend and you should have some sense of what to do. Not touchin the stuff until I'm 21 unless its a certain celerbration with parents premission (aka New Years Eve, glass of shampane) Something like that.

I believe it was one of the ones that ditched kory (aka RetardRice) who supplied the alocohol (most likely from home in the cupboards) Still irks me that they would do that. RetardRice is not the kind of person to do that, and the other two are not true friends if they'd ditch him.

if they didnt ditch him, he wouldnt of gotton to the hostpital as quickley, and the poisoning could of been worse.

I'm not a heavy drinker at all, in fact, i only drink on special occasions. Last weekend me and some friends went to the Jersey shore for a kids graduation party, and I drank. Drank a little. well, ok, drank ALOT. I seriously thought i had acohol poisining. I passed out on my friends driveway at his shore house, i had know idea where i was or what i was doing. My friends told me so much stuff that I don't remmeber doing. And my stomach hurt for the next 2 days later. O man, I think I'm gonna lay off the alcohol for a long time, or drink in moderation.

Have u ever been drunk to the point of nearly passing out? If your friend got alcohol posining then the ohter two where most likely pretty drunk. With that much alcohol in your blood you don't think cleary or rationally. Heck you really don't think at all. With that said I can gurantee you that your other two friends didn't sit there and think "Lets leave kory because we dont like him!". No, they probally hardly even noticed that he was unconcious and at the point they were at God knows they might as well be unconious, because you really can't function.

With that said you don't think you should hold any grudge against the two guys. I think they got the message not too drink when their friend nearly died.

And give your friend my best wishes on his recovery.
